Animal Facilities
At one end of the surgical building is the intermediate post-operative care and housing unit, which is capable of comfortably housing large numbers of animals during the surgical recovery period. The housing and care facilities at TDMI are designed to the highest standards for humane treatment and hygienic conditions. Since 1998, TDMI has been a fully accredited AAALAC-I research and production facility. We are a USDA registered research facility, a USDA licensed vendor and hold an Animal Welfare Assurance ID # issued by the Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare division of the Public Health Service.
Equipment
All equipment is calibrated and maintained according to TDMI’s standard operating procedures, in compliance with GLP standards. TDMI’s radiography equipment includes fluoroscopy with vascular and cardiac capabilities, enabling us to perform a wide range of surgical and imaging procedures, from cardiovascular to orthopedic. We also have an ultrasound system with cardiac functionality, as well as CT, MRI, endoscopic, and video equipment. Additionally, a fully equipped tissue culture lab is available for client use.
We can accommodate client-owned equipment and support other equipment needs through our network of partners and collaborators.
Refrigerators and freezers (-20°C and -81°C) are calibrated, maintained, and monitored to meet GLP standards for tissue and test article storage. Locked space is also provided to meet any other storage requirements needed.
